Investigations of the lifetime of speckle interferograms and of the space invariance of isoplanicity of speckle interferograms are useful for optimizing high angular resolution imaging and for testing and future astronomical observatory sites. The calculated values of speckle lifetime and isoplanatic angle are compared with direct correlation measurements. Good agreement is found for the isoplanatic angle theta. For the speckle lifetime, only partial agreement is found, i.e., very good for one night, rather good for two nights, and very bad for the last night. A possible explanation for the disagreement is presented.
